Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

As soon as he entered, he saw Linghu Chong staring blankly at the pig manure in the pigsty, his expression quite interesting.

"..."

Ling Chi knew why he was in a daze. After hundreds of years of research and development, just a few days ago, Yue Lingshan finally grew super rice with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, which shocked the entire farm.

Everyone was happy, except for Linghu Chong.

Actually, no one cared about Linghu Chong's joking remark back then; he was just struggling with his own beliefs.

If you cross this threshold, your integrity will be gone forever; if you don't, you'll be eating shit live on air.

Ling Chi, unwilling to interrupt his internal struggle, went for a walk in the woods.

The various trees in the woodland that produce seasonings are growing well, and after years of improvement, seasonings with new effects and flavors have emerged, which makes it easier for Lingchi to create his own dishes.

Many improved varieties of fruit trees have also emerged. Although the quantity cannot be compared with modern varieties, the quality of farm fruits is superior. Among them, more than ten kinds of fruits have an outstanding taste and are very popular with him.

"Young Master is here!" The little mice, who were picking fruit, happily gathered around when they saw Ling Chi arrive.

The little monkey, carrying a large bamboo basket filled with pears, said like a treasure, "Young master, would you like some sweet pears? They're freshly picked and incredibly sweet."

This sweet pear is neither yellow nor green, but rather apple-red, and is one of the more than ten kinds of fruits that Lingchi likes.

He particularly enjoys simmering sweet pears to make juice, which is an excellent barbecue seasoning with effects comparable to honey, though slightly less sweet. Even so, it is a rare delicacy.

"No, thank you." Ling Chi waved his hand and smiled, "Has it been so long? Have you all gotten used to it?"

"Yes." The maids all nodded.

"That's good."

Before leaving the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Ling Chi recruited Xiao Zhao, Yin Li, Zhou Zhiruo, and twelve maids. In addition, he also recruited all seven heroes of Wudang.

The reasons for recruiting the Seven Heroes of Wudang were quite simple. One was that he coveted the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation, thinking that he might need it in the future. The other was that they had been immersed in Taoist classics for many years and had a deep understanding of Taoism, making them suitable to be his mentors.

When the Seven Heroes of Wudang gathered together, Zhang Cuishan was extremely excited, and the other six heroes were also extremely excited. They never expected to have such good fortune after their deaths; it was truly a manifestation of the Dao Ancestor.

Because he recruited the other six heroes, Yin Susu secretly asked him to recruit Zhang Wuji, but he refused.

It wasn't that he was heartless or that he disliked Zhang Wuji, but rather that Zhang Wuji had already married Yang Buhui and had three children, and more than ten grandchildren.

If you recruit Zhang Wuji, should you also recruit Yang Buhui? If you recruit Yang Buhui, how should Yin Liting and Ji Xiaofu get along?

After Yin Liting was recruited, he saw Ji Xiaofu at the farm and his love for her was rekindled. Ji Xiaofu had been living a life of widowhood for hundreds of years and was already unbearably lonely. When she saw her former fiancé, she could not resist and got back together with him.

If Yang Buhui is recruited at this time, what will happen to this ill-fated couple who have finally reunited?

After Ling Chi patiently explained the cause and effect to Yin Susu, Yin Susu gritted her teeth and accepted the reality.

To appease her, Ling Chi said something that ultimately dispelled her obsession.

"Your son is over fifty years old now. Are you recruiting him to be your son or your father?"

Yin Susu: "..."

All the problems were solved just like that.

……

After parting ways with the twelve maids, Ling Chi went to wander around and greeted the farmers, who were either busy or resting, and chatted with them to learn about the interesting things that had happened in the past few days.

The farm now has over forty people, resembling a small rural village, with women making up the vast majority. Everyone knows that with so many women, there's no peace and quiet, and these days, all sorts of gossip and interesting stories are constantly circulating on the farm.

For example, Yin Li used a spider to scare Zhou Zhiruo again, and Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo started fighting again...

Ling Chi has a headache.

Chapter Seven: Linghu Chong's Obsession

"Hiss~~~"

A crystal-clear white snake sprang out of the bamboo forest, hopping like a kangaroo to Ling Chi's front, and finally landed in Ling Chi's outstretched palm.

Looking at the tiny white snake, only ten centimeters long, Ling Chi laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hiss (When are you going to level up? I want to grow up)~~"

“This…” Ling Chi scratched his head and said, “It should be soon. There are quite a few high-level blue-level figures in this world. Give me a few more years.”

This tiny white snake is the Little White Snake brought back from Kunlun Mountain. Originally, when Little White Snake was promoted to the blue level, its body had grown to more than three zhang long. However, when its attributes entered the advanced blue level, it became smaller and smaller day by day, eventually turning into a small snake that was only ten centimeters long. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was a white earthworm.

Ling Chi didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Bai either. Even in many myths and legends, there was no snake whose size would change from one moment to the next.

Fortunately, even after Xiaobai shrank, its strength didn't decrease. On the contrary, the shrinking size made it even faster than before. With a flick of its tail, it could leap dozens of meters into the air, and if it jumped forward, its speed was even faster than an arrow released from a bow.

Ling Chi roughly estimated that Xiao Bai's ejection speed was at least twice the speed of sound, comparable to a bullet fired from a rifle.

He used to think that Xiaobai was just an ordinary venomous snake that was almost sentient, but now it seems that it's not that simple.

"Hiss (A few years outside is like decades here, you need to hurry)~~~"

"Don't worry!" Ling Chi touched the snake's head with his finger and laughed, "We've waited for hundreds of years, what's a few more decades?"

"Hiss (Ptooey)~~~~~"

……

Chef's Space.

"Ding! Golden Lotus Emerges from the Ground, Completion Rate 52%, Unsatisfactory. Technical Summary to Begin..."

Ling Chi plopped down on the ground, looking dejected.

As a top-tier blue recipe, the Golden Lotus from the Earth is incredibly difficult to prepare. Besides exceptional culinary skills, it also requires a profound sense of Buddhist tranquility.

He learned about his late-life monasticism from Peng Yingyu, one of the Five Wanderers, which increased his Buddhist nature by 3 points. Combined with his years of studying Buddhist scriptures, his Buddhist nature was barely sufficient.

But here is the problem.

Under normal circumstances, his Buddhist nature is sufficient, but his cooking skills are a level below. Even if he injects enough Buddhist nature, his poor cooking skills cannot support the dish to be 60% complete.

So he tried eating an ice pop before making the dish, allowing himself to enter a state of absolute rationality for an hour. This allowed him to barely maintain his culinary skills, but because he was too rational, his more emotional side, like his Buddhist nature, was suppressed, and he still couldn't achieve 60% of the desired result.

What does it mean to have to have your cake and eat it too? This is it.

"What should I do?" Ling Chi put his hands behind his head, pondering a solution.

There are essentially two methods. One is to improve your cooking skills. Once your cooking skills are improved, making a qualified dish will not be a problem. The other is to read more Buddhist scriptures and continue to cultivate your Buddhist nature. As long as your Buddhist nature is sufficient even when suppressed by reason, you can still make a qualified dish.

However, he had already read through the entire sack of Buddhist scriptures he brought back from the Southern Shaolin Temple, even reading them more than a dozen times. Under such circumstances, his Buddhist nature was barely sufficient, which shows how difficult it is to cultivate one's Buddhist nature.

"Am I just a blockhead, unconnected to Buddhism?" Ling Chi fell into deep self-doubt.

Just as he was lost in thought, a portal appeared in the farm, and Linghu Chong walked out.

"Junior Brother, why are you lying on the ground?" Linghu Chong was taken aback when he saw Ling Chi's condition.

"It's Senior Brother!" Ling Chi turned to look at him and said lazily, "It's nothing, I just finished cooking and I'm a little tired."

"Take care of yourself, don't overwork yourself." Linghu Chong walked over, plopped down next to him, and handed him the wine gourd from his waist: "Have some baijiu to relieve your fatigue."

"Thank you." Ling Chi sat up, took a couple of sips of strong, spicy baijiu, and felt instantly refreshed: "Good wine!"

Ling Chi praised, "Senior Brother's winemaking skills are getting better and better."

Linghu Chong can't cook, nor does he farm much, but he has a top-notch skill: brewing wine.

Over the years on the farm, almost all the fruits and grains have become ingredients for his winemaking. Over hundreds of years, the quality of his wine has actually reached the blue level, which amazed Ling Chi.

Those two sips of strong liquor instantly restored half of his energy, and his internal energy surged. Unfortunately, his cooking skills had been stuck at the intermediate blue level for years, and his internal energy had already reached its peak, wasting the five years of additional internal energy from the liquor.

"That's all I'm good at," Linghu Chong smiled, took the wine gourd, took a couple of sips, and sighed.

Seeing his melancholy expression, Ling Chi laughed and said, "Why bother, Senior Brother? It was just a joke. I didn't mean for you to eat shit."

“You don’t understand.” Linghu Chong shook his head and said, “I, Linghu Chong, value my promises the most. You may think that I was just joking back then, but I was actually very serious.”

Ling Chi shook his head: "Senior Brother, you're too stubborn."

"There's nothing I can do, that's just who I am." Linghu Chong hung the wine gourd from his waist and looked at him very seriously: "Junior Brother, you really can't make shit?"

Ling Chi was speechless: "Senior Brother, you're not a dog, why do you have to eat shit!"

"If I don't eat it, I'll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life." Linghu Chong's eyes held a hint of sorrow. "If you, Junior Brother, can't do it, then I can only..."

"Don't be impulsive." Ling Chi quickly interrupted him, saying, "Here's what we'll do: you go back first, and I'll think of something."

"Is there really a way?" Linghu Chong's eyes lit up.

"..." Ling Chi rubbed his temples and said, "Let me think about it! There's always a way."

"I knew Junior Brother would have a way." Linghu Chong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to Junior Brother."

"..."

Linghu Chong left with a flourish, but Ling Chi was left with a headache.

Xiang...he really doesn't know how to cook it!

Besides dogs, what other creatures on earth eat poop?

Flies? Maggots?

"..."

Anyway, people won't eat it, unless someone plays a prank and tricks someone into eating poop, like a robotic doll that loves playing with poop.

Yes, it's that Arale. She made Norimaki Senbei eat the poop that Norimaki Hokusawa produced...

Huh?

The poop that came out...

and many more!

A drink came to Ling Chi's mind—cat poop coffee.

Yeah! Kopi Luwak (civet coffee)!

Ling Chi's eyes lit up.

There are many famous coffee varieties in modern society, among which Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) is definitely the most unique.

It is made from the coffee beans that civets excrete intact after eating coffee cherries. People then extract the coffee beans from their feces and process them.

Although it looks a bit disgusting, it is very expensive, costing several hundred US dollars per pound, and many people can't afford to drink it.
